Book Review of The Geographer's Library

The Geographer's Library
JujuGirl avatar reviewed on + 88 more book reviews


I really liked this book and am surprised by some of the poor reviews it's had here on PBS.

At first, the story is slow-going and hard to follow because every other chapter jumps back in time to relay how an item from "the geographer's library" is acquired by the Russians/Soviets. Nevertheless, I found it interesting. By the time I was midway through the book, my reading pace had picked up significantly and I was racing to the end to find out how it all came together.
